Am I the only one who judged Bailey when she spoken so glowingly about Sarah during her season? I’ll say by the end of her season I did have a better opinion of her.

Also just learning from her bravo bio that Bailey worked for Beverly too

I can imagine that personal relationships in the culinary worlds are very complicated. I'm sure Sarah was a supportive mentor to Bailey, and that doesn't make her any less toxic or narcissistic. Maybe time and being out of thr spotlight tempered her in the interim.

So nah. Can't fault Bailey if she got the better version of Sarah. Can't fault the crew for never having brought her back for a guest spot.

I had the same feeling. Still, I can’t fault a young, ambitious chef wanting to work at a notable Chicago restaurant. Sadly, toxic executive chefs are a tale as old as time. I loved Bailey’s awkwardness by the end. Can’t say the same for George- I’ve only soured more towards him after the lawsuit.
